Walter Wenchel who was a famous reporter during WW2 was found to have been cut up and sold in this manner even though his family paid for a funeral. |

People don't call the police until the stench is overwhelming. Ask any cop, or retired cop. When they get the radio run from the dispatcher of "investigate a foul odor at such and such address, apartment 5c.." , well, they know what they are in for. |

But like I said, his phone was disconnected. Now there is a big to-do about the property... abandoned, foreclosure, and sale. Not to mention the cleanup. And chances are the kids won't get a thing. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73013891 Germany 09/18/2016 04:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am ticked off! I was a care giver for a veteran for a year following a quadruple heart bypass surgery. I hadn't heard from him since December last year as his phone was disconnected. I had asked around to see if anybody else had seen or heard from him, and the answer was always 'no'. Quoting: Ab1Dance 2 days ago, I got a call from his mortgage lady (I drove him to all of his appointments with Dr.s, bank, mortgage, etc. so I knew everybody) and she wanted to know if I had seen or heard from him. I told her no, but she could call the Sheriff and have them do a safety check on him. She called them and called me back. The Sheriff was called back in June to go check on him, and found him dead in his home. There had been a nurse there 2 days in a row to check on him, but when she didn't get an answer, she called the Sheriff to go in. This is what ticks me off the most... THERE WAS NOTHING POSTED OR PUBLISHED ANYWHERE ABOUT HIS DEATH! My name and number was all over the place so that someone should have called me...but not one call! He has 2 children and they had to find out that their dad died 3 FRICKEN MONTHS AGO! ALONE! What happened to his body? Do the kids get to say good bye? Does he get a funeral or service? This is SO WRONG! So, I am making it my mission to ask people get to know the people who live alone in their homes in your neighborhood, and find out if they have family that needs to be notified in the event they pass away. If nothing else post it on their refrigerator for them so if a Police officer or EMT comes in, the info is readily available. At least the family would be notified... Did you live near him when he died? I'm assuming you did, as you took him to appointments. Could you have gotten him a cell phone, that you just add minutes to? Not preaching here, but someone in that condition should have a will, and have it where it can be easily found. (Regardless if he has anything to "will" to anyone.) If your name and # were everywhere, it's strange the Sheriff didn't reach out. A simple search online would likely reveal all his relatives. But some small town Dept's are not staffed with the sharpest folks. What I didn't get from your post was, how long was he dead before they discovered his body? A couple of days or 3 months? If his children didn't reach out, one possibility is that there was no relationship there. (Like maybe they had a bad childhood and had no desire to contact with him). |

Then at least they can take me to the morgue before I rot. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71374357 I always hoped I would die of old age on a roller coaster, and no one notices for a few hours. And my body keeps going for the ride, again and again. Imagine having to give the eulogy for that one?? I wouldn't be able to stop laughing if I had to give a eulogy like that. I want my funeral to be a comedy like that. "Well, Bob died doing what he liked best...etc", and then maybe show some video of the roller coaster going again and again. |
